What kind of background should a Dog Breeder have?
Everyone has a background in what they specialize in, dog breeders are no different. So in this area it is encouraged to ask as many questions you feel are necessary in order for you to feel comfortable with your decision. In addition for copies of the dog's legal certifications, health or breeding clubs should be available to you upon request. Also requesting a letter from the vet certifying the animal in question of good health and being is completely acceptable. Then there are questions regarding the dog breeder themselves, these questions are highly recommended, like how long have you been breeding your animals? How many times has that particular female been breed, and have there been any problems with the health of the litters in the past? Also ask if it would be ok to verify that information with the vet's information provided. A good breeder will allow you full access into the dog's medical history. A good breeder should be able to supply you with all the references you should need. Take the time to verify them, a satisfied customer will should always be willing to be contacted and answer question of how their puppy or dog is now doing.
